Those seeds look viable to me.. just take pics of then soaking and germinating. If they don't pop GU will make it right he always does.

That's great to find one like that. Not all are going to herm, but the chance is there and should be labeled as such.
People will buy them either way, as the cookie is truly a great one!!! The high is soooooo strong when done right, encompassing all that is in all strains. From the nearly psychedelic end to the most amazing body affect. Like it's almost too strong, but not!
Anyone have recommendations on Greenpoint Feminised strains ???

Are cookie strains really that problematic? The drop is tomorrow and I planned on getting 3 different cookie strains, all this talk about herms and cookies but really is it that bad?
The way everyone's making it sound I'd be lucky to have a keeper per each pack. I'm planning on spending a decent chunk, I want to make sure I spend it right.

Just don't grow them in large numbers or if your income really depends on it. You can micro manage them if you got like 20 females and can check them up and down every day.

Don't be so stressed. It is an amazing strain. If there are herms, they are totally manageable. As I have experienced, the pollen is not that viable on the herms. I would only find occasional seed here and there, even on plants surrounding them.
If you know it's a possible herm, that info can be invaluable! If you don't know it's possibly going to herm, like other strains, you might not see them and have your whole crop ruined.
I will work with herms for my personal, if the strain is worth it.

What I'm depending on is finding a solid pheno that wont hermy and pop seeds left and right out of the 3 new drops tomorrow. Even if I get one nice plant per pack I'll be happy. Planning on cookies and chem too but I'm guessing that's not so problematic since it isn't an S1? All this S1 and breeding is new to me. A pack of them 3 different S1's, what are the chances of finding a keeper per 6, just a toss up?

Thanks, that eases my mind a bit

Has nothing to do with it being S1 it is just a proclivity of the strain to herm, but for the most part it is 1~ of 20. The quality makes it worth it just know the chances and baby sit them. If it were me and I was just a grower with a few thousand watt lights to work with I would pop 12 (keep them no more than 1/4 or 1/3 of your garden hedge your bets with solid strains). If the plant S1'd was any good for breeding 12 females to choose from should be plenty. 18 and you will probably need to run 3 or 4 again to decide.

Chems, OGs, Sour Diesel, a lot of stuff today is known to herm. It doesn’t mean every plant will, you just got to keep an eye on it.
S1’s will expose more recessive traits and show quite a bit of variation. If the original clone is known to herm, it will have a higher likelihood of displaying the trait. But again, it’s not a guarantee, and something you gotta look out for on a lot of the popular genetics today. As for finding keepers, won’t know until they are run in high numbers. I’m guessing they’ll show more variation than people expect. More like an F2 in that way.

That alone is a disturbing comment in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Don't have any plans for breeding, just wanting to produce good quality flower

" If the plant S1'd was any good for breeding 12 females to choose from should be plenty."
When I said that I mean that if the plant that the s1 seeds you are growing out was any good for breeding (the dosidos pheno the breeder chose to s1) 12 females should be sufficient for you to find a high quality keeper given the genetics involved.

It seems like the more potent a strain is, the more likely it is to hermie.
I just chopped four plants and the two with zero nanners were "mids" (<20% THC).

How did you like Garlix?
I don't see many reviews here on RIU or greenpoint.
It would be fun to find a really good male and hit some of the sweeter strains with it.
Hmm... garlix might pair nicely with my double purple doja...

I just picked up Copper Chem with nuggets...just paid shipping. Thanks for that Gu~!
Hibernate are doing well after a week under T5. All 11 seeds popped in less than 24 hours in wet paper towel. I'm looking for 2 or 3 lovely ladies. These will be my first plants under 240 watts of HLG Quantum boards. I'm fairly excited about it.

Some cookie crosses are real nice, This is my Firecookies cut I found from a pack of Relentless beans. Had her a long time, never hermed.
